I know how to set up an IBM Client Access
connection via ODBC, is that what you need?
If so:
1. First make sure you install Client Access
on your server.
2. Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/ODBC Data
Source Administrator
3. Click on the Tab System
DSN.
4. Click on the Button
"Add".
5. Select "Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)" (Should
be the first on the list, find it if not), Then click
"Finish".
6. The Client Access Express ODBC Setup (32-bit) box
will pop up.
7. On the General Tab fill out the following:
Data source name (Whatever you want), and AS/400 System (Select
AS400).
8. On the Server Tab fill out only the Default
libraries (This has to exist on the AS400 or else nothing will work). A
library on the AS400 is like an Access DB, and a library has many files like
Access DB has many tables.
9. Click "OK".
10. Go into the ColdFusion Administrator under ODBC
Data Sources.
11. Click on the Data Source Name you just created
which is step # 7 above.
12. Enter the Username and Password for the ColdFusion
Login. This is important. If your AS400 requires this Username and
Password, most likely it will, and you forget to fill this out...you're
going to have hang time problem...like forever, until you fill out the dialogue
box that prompts you for the username and password which is done by the server
sneakily.
13. Click the Update
button.
14. Go back to your ODBC Datasources
and "verify" the Data Source Name you have just
created.
If you get "The connection to the data source was
verified successfully." your done! If not, check to see if the AS400
is connected to your network.
Any further questions I will answer to the best of
knowledge...:) Good luck!
